Hi, I'm Jonathan, a PhD physicist who moved into infrastructure.

I run infrastructure for an open-source blockchain project where I manage 40+ linux nodes covering provisioning, virtualization, DNS, monitoring, deployments, and user-facing services. I also operate a small web hosting business where I own the full stack from bare metal up. Before this, my background was postdoctoral biophysics and ML research (GROMACS, SLURM, ML-assisted free-energy prediction) plus contract cloud engineering at a startup.

I'm a strong fit for platform, infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or computational research roles. I do my best work in small, collaborative teams, and I'm comfortable wearing many hats.
